An interactive lesson on abilities, likes and dislikes, and activities.
Read the conversation between Dan and a police officer.
Dan: Excuse me, officer. Can I park my car here?
Officer: No, you can't park here. This is a bus stop.
Dan: Oh, sorry. Where can I park?
Officer: You can park on that street over there.
Dan: Thank you. One more question. Can you help me? I'm looking for the city museum.
Officer: Of course. You can't walk there, it's too far. You can take the number 15 bus.
Dan: OK. And what do you like doing in your free time here?
Officer: Well, I love cooking, but I hate cleaning. On weekends, I like visiting my family. I also enjoy playing the guitar.
Dan: That's nice. Thanks for your help!
